Note: Reunited Part Two will be in two or three chapters. This one is about the family who rules the skies, The Falcon, The Crane…and The Firebird. Enjoy.
Oliver Residence, Reefside California 2030
At the Oliver residence ten minutes before Titan was set to arrive Kimberly was sitting on her couch in the living room and was
noticeably nervous. Her foot was shaking and she was playing with her hands. "Hey beautiful, are you okay honey?" Tommy
asked after seeing Kim. "No. I keep remembering when we first met Joe and Yoshi. You know when he took the younger me into
the woods to talk. He wanted so much to help me, to make me see it wasn't my fault. Then when he tried to give his life to avenge
me, Sydney, and T.J. It just seems poetic that after all this time he would be the one to reunite us. Then how he got me to interrupt
your wedding to Kat." Kim said to her husband. "Yea, but I wouldn't want anyone else with us when we met our daughter. I've
seen news reports; you know she is the Pink Ranger that helped defeat Emperor Grumm." Kim just nodded. "Besides her
boyfriend is my son. I have heard a lot about how she was always talking about wanting to be as great as the Ninjetti Pink Ranger,
and I'm not talking about Katherine Hillard. Every time I come back to see Sky he tells me how she talks about wanting to be like
the great Kimberly Hart." Commander Jennifer Scotts said walking in from the kitchen. "I'm so proud of her; I just wish I was
there to help her become the great ranger she has." Kim said sadly. "I know beautiful. I wish Joe could have set everything right.
But doing that could have hurt Sydney more than letting her come home." Tommy told her. Kim just nodded conceding to the fact.
Not that she wanted to, but she knew her husband was right. The three didn't even notice the vortex open in the kitchen door and
Joseph Dickson step out into the living room area wearing everyday clothes. A long sleeved, gold colored shirt, black jeans and
black shoes. "Kim it's alright. Believe me, Miranda and Destany talked to her after I did. We all agree she is afraid you won't like
her. That she hasn't lived up to the family name. She has accepted you but she isn't sure you will accept her." Dickson said getting
their attention. "Yea but…" Kim started before being cut off. "But nothing Kim. You suffered, you worried, and you lost a lot. She
wants you in her life and I damn sure know you want to be in hers. Now we are going to reunite you with your daughter and you
are going to assure her you love her and she is one of the greatest rangers ever to reassure her that you are proud of her. She
needs you right now to assure her as much as anything Kim. Do you understand me sis." Dickson told her as calmly as he could.
Kim just nodded still not totally convinced. Dickson just sighed. He then extended his hand and opened a vortex showing Sydney
and Sky in the visitors lounge waiting. "What if they don't like me, or I'm not a good enough ranger for them, or I…" Sky shut
Syd up when he covered her lips with his. "They will love you just as much as I do. They'd be crazy not to." Sky said after
releasing the kiss. Syd just nodded and hugged Sky tight. Jen felt bad spying on her son but she realized it was for Kim so she
didn't complain. Dickson closed the vortex and looked at Kim. "Now are you convinced?" The Ninjetti Master/inter-dimensional
general asked her. Kim should have known that Tommy, Jen, and Joe would be right. They usually were about these things. She
just nodded her head in agreement as Joseph Dickson morphed himself into The Titan and opened a vortex to an area right
outside the academy. "Well guys let's go." Tommy said taking Kim's hand and following Titan and Commander Scotts through the
vortex and to the academy grounds.
When Tommy and Kim stepped down they noticed that Commander Scotts and Titan were walking into the academy. "I guess
they want to make sure there are no formalities when we get there." Tommy told his wife with a smile. "What did we do to
deserve a man like Joe for a friend?" Kim asked. "We were there when he needed us. We gave our faith to him and he returned it
with reckless emotion." Tommy laughed causing Kim to giggle. Before they could say anymore Jen came out and motioned for
them to come in. "You ready for this beautiful?" Tommy asked. "As ready as I'll ever be handsome." Kim responded. Tommy
took her hand and led her toward the door.
Kim was clinging to Tommy like a scared child on her first day of school on their way through the doors of the academy. When
they were inside they were greeted by Jen, Titan, Sky, and a very nervous Sydney Drew. Syd was clinging to Sky much like Kim
was Tommy. Titan had to stifle a laugh at seeing how much alike the two women were. Finally upon seeing Sydney, Kim let go of
Tommy and slowly walked up to Syd running her hand down Syd's cheek. Kim's mouth was open and tears were running down
her face until she finally pulled Syd away from Sky and into a huge hug. She couldn't believe after all this time her daughter was
finally in her arms, but here they were in a strong embrace. It was if it were a dream and they both thought the other would
disappear if they let go. Tommy was behind the group with tears in his eyes. When Syd noticed him she slowly let go of Kim and
walked over to him. Tommy didn't know what to do. Syd was going with her natural brunette hair and didn't have her blue
contacts in so her eyes were her mom's doe brown. Before Tommy could speak Syd flung herself into his arms and after a second
said one word that caused Tommy to nearly break out bawling. She simply said…"Daddy." A word Tommy never thought he
would hear from a daughter believed dead for thirty-four years. Jen, Titan, and even the tough as nails Sky were watching from a
distance all crying at the reunion that was over three decades in the making. Kim finally walked over causing Tommy to drop Syd
and pull Kim in with them. It was a picture that should never have happened, but one everyone was glad finally did. Finally
however the silence was broken by the sound of yelling. A man in a Time Force uniform was throwing a fit in front of Titan. The
next scene shocked the room, well except for Tommy and Kim who knew their friend well. Titan had punched the officer and
bloodied his nose, most likely broke it. Then he picked the officer up and drug the man over to a nearby window before smashing
his face through window. Titan then pulled him down from his dangling position and onto his back Titan made it strait to the point.
"Captain Logan! You're Fired!" Titan yelled in the most hate filled voice you would ever hear. Before walking off he said one
more thing that caught everyone's attention. "And Logan. All of us you have caused hurt to by your abduction; we've got two
words for ya! SUCK IT!" He yelled pointing to his crotch before spitting in the man's face and walking off leaving him in a bloody
mess on the floor. As he walked off he looked up to see a room of shocked people who included the rangers both B and C
Squad, Doctor Manx and Commander Cruger. "DX maybe disband. But I sure as hell couldn't think of a better way to fire that
bastard." Titan told them. Miranda just laughed knowing her uncle like she did. "What would mom think?" Miranda asked him.
"With that piece of shit. I think she would let it slide." Titan told her. "For all personnel this may concern. Everyone associated
with the quest on Phaedos; you have the rest of the day off to get ready. Destany, Max, myself, or Miranda will be here to pick
you up at eleven tomorrow morning. Don't be late. Dulcea wants to see her daughter on time." Dickson ordered. "Not a word
Anubis. Those are my orders and I expect them followed." Commander Cruger just growled and stomped off, kicking Logan in
the side of the head on the way through. Once again the room was in shock at how Commander Cruger was literally told to shut
up and like it without as much of a fight out of the Serian Commander who had been the rock of SPD for over two decades.
"Now Oliver's." Titan began opening a vortex. "Go home and relax. You have your daughter back. Enjoy the time you have
together before your trip." Titan said to them. Kim just went over and hugged Titan. "Thank you so much Joe, I'll never be able to
repay you for this." Kim told him. "Me seeing you and Tommy happy is payment enough. You have been so good to me since we
first met when I was just a drunken general looking for an outlet from reality." He told her stroking her hair. "Now go you have a
daughter you need to get to know before the trip." He told her before she broke the hug and let herself, Tommy, and Syd go
through the vortex back to their living room. Once they were through Titan closed the vortex. "Sky you think you could house
your mother tonight?" Titan asked him. "I think so." Sky told him with a smile. "First though, throw that body through this vortex."
Titan said as he opened another vortex. "Gladly." Sky said as he went over, picked Logan's body up, and threw him through the
vortex causing Titan to close it behind him. "Where did that send him?" Miranda asked Titan. "Emrass' Castle halls." The location
caused both Miranda and Jen to shudder. "I'm going home." Before they could even say bye Titan was gone in a bright green
light.
Psychotic Realm Emrass' Palace.
Six guards aimed their weapons and splattered the prone figure all over their master's palace walls. "Someone get this mess
cleaned up. I wish that general would stop throwing his garbage in our dimension." The lead guard said before walking off.
Note: Well I hope you enjoyed the reunion and the fate of Captain Logan. The bastard deserved what he got. The drunken Titan can be seen in "Challenges and Confusion" in which I wrote the even chapters. If you want to read about the Tommy Kim wedding read "One Man, Two Weddings" by me.
